Yes I am Catholic but no I will not shove my beliefs down your throat

I was born and raised a Catholic.

Went to a Catholic school for nine years, prayed every morning, wore uniforms, we even went to church every Thursday morning.

High school happened and I attended youth group, volunteered for things around the church, and went to church every Sunday.

College is currently happening and I attended chapel almost every Wednesday, looked up bible versus to get me through tests or a stressful day, and sometimes I even talked about My faith with a few people.

That was and is my life. I am Catholic. No I don't attend church every Sunday and no I don't read the Bible and beg you to believe what I do.

Truthfully I'm just like any other human being, I cuss like a sailor, I associate myself with people who do drugs because they are my friends, and I don't love myself as much as I should.

However, that doesn't make me any less Catholic.

Just because people don't follow the Bible or believe in the same God I do, doesn't mean I hate them. It also doesn't mean I try to covert them to my religion.

I'm no perfect Catholic by any means, and to be honest I don't know any perfect Catholics or people of that matter. If you want to talk about God I will give you my opinion but know that I will never ever try and change your beliefs just because I don't agree.

So in conclusion yes I am Catholic, but no, I will not shove my beliefs down your throat.

Toilet Troubles

"So, usually I would never go on a Tinder date but when you are out with girlfriends and a hot Bosnian guy says he wants to hang with you and his friends, you oblige. We head to their apartment and when I realized I may pee my pants if I don't find a bathroom soon. I ask for the bathroom and a friend of my tinder date shows me to it and said in all seriousness that I was not allowed to flush the toilet under ANY circumstances. Having a few drinks--or five--I relieved myself to, nevertheless, flush the toilet. Within seconds, his bathroom was flooded and towels were laid out everywhere to catch the toilet water. To say the least, we were not invited back"
